“The research is clear about the essential difference that early education makes in a child’s life. The best scientific evidence confirms the benefits of quality early learning experiences, because during their preschool years, children are more receptive to new information than perhaps at any other time in their lives. We cannot afford to wait until children reach age five or six to help them full their promise.”
